The Best Trade for a Young Man.

The following question and answer
lately appeared in the New York
Christian Advocate. The advice may
probably be pondered, point by point
by any young man just about to ap.
prentice himself to some trade:
What sort of trade would you ad
wise young man to learn who wants
to get ahead In the world?
First--A trade that is either Heces-
sary to the human race or that appeals
to special class that can be relied
upon to consume its products. Second
"a trade from which the person
learning il has natural taste and
aptitude. Third--A trade not depend
ent on seasons or particular locality
- Fourth-A trade which admits of q
person mastering It so as not to be
dependent upon employers, and which
does not require so much cspital that
he cannot reasonably expect ever to be
an-employer himself. Fifth-A trade
that In all probability will agree with
his physical conilstution. Sixth--A
trade that is not necessarily mental
nor generally filthy.

trouble With are from the lower counties.
You'll. find the crew oil in partnership
with one another, and they divide the
spoile, share and share alike, except that
the captain generally gets little extra
IL reminds one OF old Captain Kidd
and his crew. The captain ia usually n
big, burly fellow, who has shown him
self TO be the best man among his fol-
lowers. You'll never see colored cap
tain, although the crews are about half
white and half black. They wouldn't
dare 20 commit the acts they
do while they are ashore, but
when they are on the bay there
is not much chance OF their being
caught. With n good stiff breeze they'll
run ten knots an hour, and even il We
succeed in OVERLAPPING them We can't
bring them to without running them
down or firing into them. II you throw
them line they won't take il, and the
only thing to 90 is to run close alongside
and board her. That's the way we take
most OF our prizes, but it's dangerous
and exciting work, as you can see by last
nights experience.
"ln addition to the three steamers
mentioned the navy has three schoon-
CTS OF thirty.fve tons burthen each, and
eight sloops Of about twenty tons. The
Chesapeake bay is divided into districts,
and the smiling craft are assigned to va
Jious points along either coast for police
duty. They carry rifles and small can
non, and know how 10 use them in cases
of emergency. The steamers cruise
about the waters from place to place and
are always ready to suppress any disorder
and enforce the law. Oftentimes a feet
of one hundred oyster-boats will come
into forbidden waters. The sloop in that
quarter will come in among them and
they viii be afraid TO put down their
dredges. But they will get the best of
the sloop by dividing into two fleets,
and while one half goes east the other
will go west. The sloop cant follow
both, and the ones left to Themselves
will dredge for oysters. It's amusing to
sec them work that way and keep whip
ping about as the sloop goes back and
forth between them. You can't catch
more than one boat, for on the water it's
like trying to catch chickens. They all
spread out, and you can only run one
down."
The oystermen of the Chesapeake bay
number nearly $4,000 men. The Mary
land navy numbers 1Ol men, and they
have TO guard eight hundred square
miles Of water, which includes tributa-
ries of the bay. Commodore Plowman
does not anticipate any further imme-
date trouble from the pirates, believing
that he has satisfied them he can give
them the worst OF the fight.

Supreme Court today filed an opinion
in the case of Smith against the city of
Wilmington. This case involves the va
lidity of the election held last August, at
which 100000 was subscribed TO the
capital stock OF the Wilmington, Onslow
and last Carolina railway. 1t was
claimed by Smith and other opponents
OF the measure that there ought not to
have been new registration for TINS
election, but that it should have been
held under the old registration. Bo
applied for an injunction 10 restrain
the city from issuing the bonds.
The case was heard before the Judge Of
the Superior Court of Chambers. lie
decided that the election was properly
held and refused togrant the injunction.
Appeal was taken TO the Supreme Court
by smith. The latter court in its opinion
today saws the court below was in error,
and grants tho injunction. 1t now ap-
pears that euother election will be
necessary. This will have to be beld
under the old registration if held at all.

baby was attracted Ivy the appearance of
the hawk in the corner, and crept up

who suddenly heard her child
screaming in agony. Turning around,
Mrs. Horn saw the child lying
on It's back on the floor, while the hawk
was on top Of it tearing at the baby S
face and breast with its talors and beak.
Mrs. Horn ran to the rescue of her child,
aud in getting it away from the hawk
her right hand was Gashed TO the bone
by blow from one Of the hawks claws.
The flesh on the baby's face was torn
away on one cheek until the bones were
exposed. One eye was gouged out and
the under lip nearly severed from the
face. The child's breast was also badly
laecratcd. The hawk would have killed
the child but for its prompt rescue by
It's mother. The ugly bird was taken
out and shot. The child's injuries may
prove fatal.
